We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Rob Langendijk about their original and creative Sensor Faucet for bathrooms design work. Rob Langendijk is an award-winning industrial designer, that makes our world a better place with their original sensor faucet for bathrooms works.
Rob Langendijk ("RL") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work miscea LIGHT Sensor Faucet for bathrooms. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
RL : Our future plans for this award winning design is commercialization.
RL : The entire development process of this design took just over 1 year to complete.
RL : Based on extensive market research, we realised that a simple product was required for the mass market.
RL : This design is currently being produced by miscea GmbH for commercialisation. The miscea LIGHT is currently being sold in Europe with intention to be available in the US, Asia Pacific, Middle East and other areas of the world.
RL : The miscea LIGHT is designed to be used in public and private washrooms, therefore the target customer group for this design are private home owners, business owners, architects, interior designers, building developers and other professionals within the building industry.
RL : The design of the miscea LIGHT is unique in that it has an integrated soap dispenser which eliminates the need for separate soap dispensers. The fact that it is operated completely touch free using advanced sensor technology means users do not have to touch the faucet at all. Currently there are no other products on the market which offers this 2 in 1 touch free solution for more a more convenient and hygienic hand washing experience.
RL : Before the miscea LIGHT, we also produced the miscea CLASSIC system. This system had a much more complex user interface designed to be used by professionals within the medical field. Through market research, we realised that a less complicated user interface was needed if we wanted to enter different markets and so the miscea LIGHT was developed. The name LIGHT is a play on the fact that the use of LED lights is integrated in the user interface but also because it is a lighter, more simple version of the miscea CLASSIC system.
RL : The most unique aspect of the miscea LIGHT design has to be the fact that it has an integrated soap dispenser. However, other aspects such as the sensor technology used, the general shape of the product or even the fact that it can be used with a remote control for personalized settings also add to its uniqueness.
RL : The design of the miscea LIGHT would not have been possible without the dedicated team of miscea engineers and all our external partners.
